  The best self catering accommodation we have ever stayed in.

  So much attention to detail. The weather was awful but the hosts had thought of everything to counteract this including board games and a full remote control drop down screen at the balcony doors to accommodate a projector suspended from the ceiling enabling us to watch Netflix etc (if you have an account). The bedding was top quality and the beds were so very comfortable. Fluffy towels and even dressing gowns to keep you warm when going to and from the Hot Tub. The hosts live in the cottage next door but you would never know. They have black out blinds, as does the property and, at no point did we feel that we were being watched. It's not the easiest of places to find once you get to the village as SAT Nav leads you to what appears to be a dead end but, we were so impressed with Sean, the owner, in the fact that he heard our car and came straight out to us and guided us in the right direction and then took the time to show us around the accommodation which, he has converted all by himself. He has even made the headboards for the beds himself and also the amazing railings for the spiral staircase and the balcony. The upstairs toilet is amazing..Sean has covered the walls with original Wartime Newspapers which are so interesting to read that you are likely to spend more time in there than you should...they make fantastic reading! All we can say is WELL DONE ! ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! WE WILL BE BACK! Oh...and the Sunday Roast at the local is fabulous!

  We spent a week at this wonderful house and are now thinking about when we can go back!

  After spending many fabulous holidays in Sykes accommodation and lots of times in Wales, this has been the best we've stayed in (and it was up against some tough competition). The house is simply gorgeous. Very private and secluded but only a short distance from Ruthin which has plenty of shops, restaurants and bars etc so you get peace and quiet but are close enough to all you could need too. The owner couldn't have been nicer and the hamper on arrival was a wonderful welcome touch that far surpasses any we've ever had before. Having the horses for neighbours, a huge hot tub in a wonderful garden, just as well equipped outside as in, was amazing. Inside the rooms are very comfortable, tastefully decorated and well equipped, with a stunning kitchen which would be wonderful in any home. Only thing missing was a phone signal (which we knew about as it's in the listing) but in my opinion actually improves things. Good WiFi so not out of touch but no phone signal was a good excuse to have a bit of a holiday from the phone too. We loved this house, in case that's not already obvious lol, and would definitely recommend.

  We enjoyed a relaxing holiday in the glorious Devon countryside at Becketts Barn.

  The property is a sympathetically restored barn, done to the highest standards with some great views from the front balcony and was very comfortable. The added bonus of a hot-ish tub is great feature, we used it twice it didn’t ever get over 31deg even though we had been told it was set at 35… We were disappointed that the listing has not been updated because the shop has been closed for a year, which meant getting in our car for a 20 minute drive. The owners Sean and Wenna have good intentions though and he is a nice guy, an initial teething issue with the property not being ready was handled well by him. He also offered to drop us to a local pub for dinner in his vintage car which he would book on our behalf. However this also went wrong because no food was being served on the night we wished to go, we were told this with only an hours notice clearly showing the booking had not been made previously.. he did however offer to drive us out another night and try something else but we declined. Overall we are glad we stayed but for those that want a shop locally look elsewhere because the listing is inaccurate.

  Fantastic stay!

  We stayed as a group of (mature) friends over the New Year Right from the start the farmhouse owner Richard was most helpful. On arriving we were blown away with the house the quality was of a high standard and spotlessly clean It had everything you could think of and more! It was spacious, as a group it never felt crowded. The large lounge was great for all to gather with a huge sofa ,TV and wood burner The house had been decorated for Christmas which was a nice touch. There was a lovely welcome basket and information pack. We visited the local pub one evening, it’s about a 15/20 min walk. The food was nice and plentiful and the staff were friendly. There’s a little shop attached to the pub where they sell local produce ( bacon was fab). Both run by the community ! There are a few forest walks a short drive away! Which I would highly recommend doing! Ruthin has all the shops you need (4 miles from the house) Would we book again? Absolutely can’t wait! Thank you again Richard & family

  We've just returned from a family weekend away and we were so impressed with this beautiful house!

  It was so clean and cared for, beautifully presented with a lovely welcome box on arrival with all the need to knows and some treats to get the holiday started! It is sat within amazing grounds, the Horses in the field next to the gardens are extremely friendly and enjoyed an apple of two from the apple tree! Then you have the three sheep who are super cute bounding over to say hello! The owner came over to show us some good walking routes and even let my daughter feed the sheep a little treat, great touch!! The hot tub was nice and warm when we got there which was appreciated! There are two living rooms with fires, they warmed the whole house, it was so cosy! There are board games available in the big lounge, the kitchen comes with all the equipment and space you need and then some! Before we left we were already talking about coming back! A huge thank you for making our stay so comfortable, looking forward to coming back! If you haven't already get this place booked, you will not regret it!
